SUAY offers 5-7 new dyes each month in a variety of colors that work on both natural and synthetic fibers, always including a tie-dye option. Lighter garments take on a close match to the color swatch, while colored, darker garments can take on a whole new tint/hue that plays off the base color.
Want to stop by and drop off your items? Just come in, 7 days a week. Need the convenience of mailing in (no matter where you are)? Just fill out this form to get the process started! *BTW, we are launching a mailer bag program soon, so stay tuned!
Your items will be dyed in communal batches by color, then cleaned, sorted, and quality checked before being returned to you to live their new life! The processing time takes about 4 weeks from the end of the month you participate in.

Dyeing does include a heat process, so if you have not washed these items previously or have any questions about whether your item may shrink or not be appropriate for a high-heat process, please reach out. We do not dye wool, leather, mohair, and other animal-protein fibers. Silk is one exception, but it is delicate and may incur damages.
We accept synthetics. Be sure to note/be aware of your item's fabric makeup and color selection. If it is fully or mostly synthetic (60% and above), your item will need to be dyed in the synthetic option(s) available. Threads are likely polyester and may not dye (in the natural dye bath), resulting in contrast stitching.
At this time we also do not accept shoes or any home goods with an attached insert (ie comforter or cushion) or hard backing (rugs).
Whites and lights aren't the only colors you can dye! The original garment must be a lighter or lateral shade of the intended color to go into the dye bath. Overdying intense or existing colors with new ones often creates unique hues and richer outcomes. Results vary by fabric integrity and construction.
Follow the original care instructions. Before regular laundering, you can wash your items alone or with similar colors.
Our dyes are bluesign® System-approved and are safe for consumers and workers while minimizing environmental impact across the supply chain. Big improvements are in motion to speed up the process, provide greater transparency, and develop more botanical-based dye options. Our third-party certified methodology promises:
There is a slight chance of damage or loss, but we take many steps to mitigate this. We cannot see the entire life cycle of a garment before it gets to us and do our best to notify you of items we see as delicate or historically more damageable items beforehand. If any damage occurs, we notify you and provide options for refund or repair. Customers take responsibility if submitting unacceptable or fragile items into the dye bath.
